Product details
Overview
LM5134AMF/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel low-side gate driver IC with dual complementary outputs (OUT and PILOT), delivering 7.6-A peak sink / 4.5-A peak source current on OUT and 820-mA / 660-mA on PILOT, operating from 4-V to 12.6-V supply, supporting –40°C to 125°C junction temperature, and used in high-speed motor drivers and PFC converters to minimize turnoff loop inductance via local pilot-FET control.
For engineers reviewing the LM5134AMF/NOPB datasheet, LM5134AMF/NOPB pinout, LM5134AMF/NOPB application, or LM5134AMF/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include verified dual-output timing coordination (tPD-ON = 4.2 ns, tPD-OFF = 6.4 ns at VDD = 10 V), input logic compatibility (TTL/CMOS with 14-V absolute max input), UVLO protection (3.25–4.0 V threshold), thermal performance (RθJA = 60 °C/W in WSON), and SOT-23/WSON package options.
Technical Context
The LM5134AMF/NOPB implements a dual-output architecture where the main OUT drives high-current power FETs while the complementary PILOT output controls an external low-inductance turnoff MOSFET-enabling independent optimization of turnon and turnoff speeds. Its inverting (INB) and non-inverting (IN) inputs support flexible signal routing without external logic inversion.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 0.36-V hysteresis and internal PNP clamping to hold OUT ≤1 V during brownout, plus TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs tolerant up to 14 V regardless of VDD-allowing direct interfacing with 3.3-V microcontrollers or 12-V analog PWM controllers without level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Sink Current (OUT) | 7.6 A - enables fast discharge of large gate capacitances (e.g., >10 nF) for sub-20 ns MOSFET turnoff in hard-switching PFC stages |
| Peak Source Current (OUT) | 4.5 A - supports rapid gate charging of parallel Si MOSFETs or GaN HEMTs requiring high dV/dt control |
| PILOT Output Current | 820 mA sink / 660 mA source - drives small local turnoff FETs (e.g., 3.3 Ω RDS(on)) placed adjacent to main switch to reduce gate-loop inductance |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4 V to 12.6 V - compatible with 5-V digital controllers and 12-V industrial bus supplies; supports GaN (≤6 V) and Si MOSFET (10–12 V) gate drive |
| Propagation Delay Match | tPD-ON = 4.2 ns, tPD-OFF = 6.4 ns (VDD = 10 V, CL = 330 pF) - ensures precise sequencing between main and pilot outputs to prevent shoot-through |
| Input Voltage Tolerance | Up to 14 V on IN/INB - eliminates need for external clamping diodes when interfacing with higher-voltage control signals |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive motor control and industrial power converter environments |
Pinout & Package
LM5134AMF/NOPB is packaged in a 6-pin WSON (NGG) with 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body and exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced thermal dissipation (RθJA = 60 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Gate drive supply input | Must be locally decoupled with low-ESR/ESL capacitor ≤1 cm from pin to sustain 7.6-A transient current without rail collapse |
| PILOT | Complementary gate drive output | Drives external turnoff FET; logic inverted relative to OUT; requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize parasitic ringing |
| OUT | Main low-side gate drive output | Directly drives power FET gate; capable of 7.6-A sink to rapidly discharge Miller capacitance during turnoff |
| VSS | Power ground reference | All internal signals referenced here; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane beneath exposed pad |
| INB | Inverting logic input | Active-high logic inverts output polarity; tie to VSS if unused to avoid floating input |
| IN | Non-inverting logic input | Active-high logic passes through to OUT; tie to VDD if unused to ensure defined state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual complementary outputs | OUT and PILOT provide coordinated, time-shifted drive signals enabling local turnoff path design that reduces gate-loop inductance by >50% vs. single-output drivers |
| Input voltage tolerance | 14-V absolute max on IN/INB allows direct connection to 12-V PWM controllers or 3.3-V MCU outputs without level shifters or resistive dividers |
| UVLO with clamp | 3.25–4.0 V UVLO threshold with 0.36-V hysteresis and internal PNP clamp holds OUT ≤1 V during brownout-preventing unintended power-FET conduction |
| Thermal-enhanced WSON | Exposed pad and RθJA = 60 °C/W enable 2.5× higher continuous power dissipation than SOT-23 variant under identical layout conditions |
| Break-before-make timing | 2.5 ns (VDD = 10 V) ensures safe dead-time between OUT and PILOT transitions-critical when driving external turnoff FETs in high-dI/dt applications |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC27524ADRV | Single 5-A sink / 5-A source output; no PILOT output; 15-V max VDD; 13 ns typical tPD; no UVLO clamp | Lacks complementary pilot output-requires external circuitry for local turnoff; unsuitable for ultra-low-inductance turnoff-critical designs | Select when only main gate drive is needed and board space permits discrete turnoff FET control |

FAQ
What is the function of the PILOT output in LM5134AMF/NOPB?
The PILOT output in LM5134AMF/NOPB is a complementary gate drive signal timed to activate an external low-RDS(on) MOSFET placed physically adjacent to the main power FET. This creates a localized, low-inductance turnoff path that reduces gate-loop impedance-critical for suppressing false turnon during high-dV/dt switching events. LM5134AMF/NOPB guarantees precise delay coordination (tPD-ON = 4.2 ns, tPD-OFF = 6.4 ns at VDD = 10 V) between PILOT and OUT to prevent shoot-through.
Does LM5134AMF/NOPB support both TTL and CMOS logic inputs?
LM5134AMF/NOPB supports TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs, but the specific threshold type depends on the variant: LM5134A uses CMOS thresholds (VIH = 0.67×VDD, VIL = 0.33×VDD), while LM5134B uses fixed TTL thresholds (VIH = 2.4 V, VIL = 0.8 V). LM5134AMF/NOPB is the LM5134A variant. Both versions tolerate up to 14 V on IN/INB regardless of VDD, enabling direct interface with diverse controller families without level-shifting circuitry.
How does the UVLO feature operate in LM5134AMF/NOPB?
LM5134AMF/NOPB incorporates an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that disables output drive when VDD falls below 3.25 V (min) and re-enables at 3.61 V (typ), providing 0.36-V hysteresis. During UVLO, the IN/INB inputs are ignored, and an internal PNP transistor actively clamps the OUT pin to ≤1 V-ensuring the driven power FET remains fully off even during partial power-up or brownout conditions. This behavior is confirmed in Section 7.3 of the LM5134 datasheet.
What package options are available for LM5134AMF/NOPB?
LM5134AMF/NOPB is offered exclusively in the 6-pin WSON (NGG) package with 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size and an exposed thermal pad. Unlike the base LM5134 family-which also includes SOT-23 (DBV)-the AMF/NOPB suffix denotes the WSON variant. The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve the specified RθJA = 60 °C/W and ensure reliable operation at full 7.6-A peak current.
Can LM5134AMF/NOPB drive GaN power devices?
Yes, LM5134AMF/NOPB is suitable for driving enhancement-mode GaN HEMTs requiring ≤6-V gate drive, thanks to its 4-V to 12.6-V VDD operating range and ability to deliver 4.5-A peak source current at low VDD. Its fast propagation delays (tD-ON = 17 ns typ at VDD = 10 V), tight input-to-output matching, and PILOT output for local turnoff make it effective in GaN-based high-frequency converters. However, users must verify gate voltage limits per specific GaN device datasheet-LM5134AMF/NOPB itself does not regulate VDD and relies on external supply design.
